YouTube has been pushing clips of Adam West's Batman TV show in my recommended feed for the past week or so. I remember watching this as a kid, but watching it is an adult brings a whole new level of entertainment! It's not just for kids folks. LOL I may have to seek out the complete series on DVD soon.

The original Batman was a primetime television show and was originally developed for an adult audience. But because the fights were presented so goofy it found a kid audience and got that label even more once it entered syndication. Needless to say, the kids missed out on a lot of the jokes. Hell, even the vocabulary that Batman uses had to have gone over a lot of kids heads. Adam West dropped some serious SAT words.

One other fun fact for you. While the show was in its original run, Adam West and Bert Ward would go to orgies and sex parties in costume, and would give the women an opportunity to actually have sex with Batman and Robin. It's never been clarified if they went to the parties together or not though.

And if I can, I'd like to share one other lured sex tale from the world of Batman and Robin involving Cesar Romero who played The Joker. In most of his roles, Caesar would typically play a variation of the the Latin lover, but behind the scenes he was actually gay. According to popular tales, he had a particular fetish where he would stand in a tub of warm water, while his boy toys would fling orange wedges at his naked ass.

Some people say it was actually tangerine slices and not orange wedges, but I'm inclined to believe the more popular version of the story.

Oh, and I think I have to also say, "allegedly."

How altruistic of them.

I just heard that Digital foundry went independent.  That's huge news. Between this and the influx of new staff at EG, who in my opinion clearly have a different style of writing, since the ign takeover I'm not sure how much of pre IGN EG still remains. Sad times for a long time fan of the site like me.

Im over 230 hours into Cyberpunk and started experimenting.

I transported a body in the back of my van, drove it to my building.

Slung it over my shoulder and walked in. The cops gave me the side eye but didn't attack.

It wouldn't let me call an elevator until I laid the body down.

But then when the elevator opened I picked up the corpse and went in.

On my floor all the NPCs started panicking and flooding out in horror like swarming rats.

Then when I got the body into my apartment the game doesn't let you carry them.

It just flopped onto the ground.

I want to see if, 6 hours later or whatever if the body remains.

If it does I may stash 1 corpse per apartment owned lol.

Creepy but hilarious.

EDIT: It didn't work. Body is gone now.

Also picked up some iconic weapons that are exclusive to Phantom Liberty dlc. A lot of them have significant downsides to them and the benefits don't out weigh them.

One thing I hate is the game has cool coloured weapons, but their stats aren't great. So you either have more powerful boring weapons or weak cool looking ones.

I got the Heretic & Hexen Nightdive Studios version for free on Steam since I've already own those games. Quite happy with it. 4K60. I'll have to give Heretic another playthrough soon.

Anyone trying out the Drag x Drive test run? Kids are having a blast with it. You can say what you want about the artstyle, but it sure is a novel concept.
